How to Clean a Stroller

Not only is it time for spring cleaning, but garage sale season is also here. I’m scoring deals but also buying a lot of used items, which means cleaning stains and doing more laundry. We buy most of our kids’ clothes at garage sales or get them as hand-me-downs, and sometimes I’ll even buy clothes with stains on them knowing that I can get them out! My secret weapon? Shaklee’s Nature Bright.

We’ve been using Shaklee products in our home since Doug and I got married, almost 5 years now.

I honestly can’t see myself using any other products. They are easy to use, have saved us money, are natural (and safe for the kids to use/help), and actually clean everything well. Other natural products I’ve tried, I won’t name names ;), just don’t cut it when it comes to cleaning, they cost an arm and a leg, and their smells can be overwhelming. The Shaklee products are simple to order online, don’t require monthly minimum orders, and last for a while.

When my mother-in-law Sharon asked me to review the products for you, I wanted to tackle the dirtiest, nastiest thing we needed to clean:

the stroller.

(dun dun dun)

With three kids (and one on the way), we use our stroller daily. I bought it last year at a garage sale for a steal (Joovy Caboose for $20), but since then it’s gotten dirty.

Almost to the point where the kids don’t want to sit in it anymore. And then they exclaim really loudly just what they think the stains are from. Ahem. Check out that seat and arms. Guh-ross. Let me show you how to clean your stroller in under 15 minutes with minimal work or scrubbing.

How To Clean a Stroller:

Shaklee’s Nature Bright is a laundry booster, but you can use it on any and every stain. I haven’t been disappointed yet!

Using it is super simple too: 1 scoop + 16 oz of water, stir and apply directly to your stains.

Scrub the mixture onto the stroller. If a stain seems stubborn, let it sit for a bit, then go back to scrubbing it.

Halfway through, Ben came up and asked “can my help you clean?” and then it dawned on me. That’s the main reason I use Shaklee.

With other products I’d be nervous to let them touch, ingest, or inhale chemicals. With Shaklee, they can help me clean and play “car wash”. :)

When you’re done scrubbing, get the hose out and spray the stroller down. Leave it in the sun to dry.

I could NOT believe how much brighter the stroller looked and that the stains were actually gone. Our stroller looked brand new, and it only took 15 minutes and minimal scrubbing.

That is definitely a clean stroller. Pretty impressive. While I don’t have a stroller to clean, I do have some dining chairs that I’d like to try to clean before I re-upholster. I’m wondering if Shaklee could clean them?

Thanks for the post! The stroller looks awesome!
I think I’d like to start with the Basic H cleaner since I spend the most time cleaning kitchen surfaces and this seams like a good one for all purpose touching up.

I have been looking for more natural products to use for our household for a long time, but have had a hard time finding any that work very well. I’m most excited to try the nature bright and laundry detergent!

I would like to try the super cleaning concetrate because its says you can use it on anthing. My little ones are always around when I am cleaning, so to be able to feel comfortable they are safe around these products is a must. I do not believe my house should smell like toxic fumes to be clean.

Oh, I can’t enter the giveaway (Darn Canadian-ness!), but I wanted to say that the stroller looks amazin! I have the same stroller in green and it needs a bit of sprucing before we sell it on CL. Thanks for the great tips! :)

I’m super impressed! I would love to try these products sine I have an 11 month old and I am always thinking green and clean! I would love to try any of the household cleaners. I love a multipurpose cleaner! :-)

We use the Shaklee dish washing detergent and love it. I would love to try their laundry detergent stuff.
I have a white shower curtain I bought from Goodwill that has stains on it. They let me have it for a dollar because it had stains. I tried a stain remover recipe from Pinterst that was supposed to be great and it did not work. I woud love to see if the Shaklee laundry stuff would work on it.

I have never tried Shaklee – and I believe that now is the time!! I don’t have little ones at home anymore, but I know my home could use a good scrubbing from top to bottom!! Thanks for the chance to win – and congratulations on your article being featured in the magazines!!! How cool is that!!!

I would love to try the Shaklee’s. I have a Phil & Ted’s that could use a “car wash.” I have 4 children under 7 and I am trying to get them to help me clean so I am looking for safer cleaning products.

I think this is one of the most important info for me.
And i am glad reading your article. But wanna remark on some general things, The website
style is perfect, the articles is really great : D. Good job, cheers

I just ordered some of this remover and I can’t wait for it to get here so I can get to working on my stroller! Do you think it would work as well on our car seats? How long did it take to dry in the sun? (I’m in Florida with a lot of sunshine, but also a lot of humidity so I was just curious!)
